Limo ride from church to reception

SoI discovered tonight while going through my bestfriends pictures on her phone she was holding out on me with pictures from the limo she took with her cell phone . Which most of you saw the limo and it was pretty amazing. The limo ride was probably one of my favorite things about the wedding. It was my Grams' idea too!!! Their is a great story to go along with the limo ride too. So we were riding down main street passing the baseball diamonds right down from Baker Park and John and Jason decided to hang out the window and Jason yelled we just got married all the way down the road while all kinds of people were at the 3 sets of baseball diamonds down the road. People were waving and smiling!!! It was hillarious!!!! Just to fill you in Jason is John's bestfriend and my bestfriends boyfriend... he wasn't able to be in the wedding because we thought he was going to have to be away due to work but he was able to come in the end...YAY!

Our AWESOME 200” Stretch H2 Hummer....thanks again Grams!

John's Birthday Weekend

We had a really good weekend. Friday we had my Grandma, John's Mom, Dad and Grandma and Grandpa Benson over for dinner, cake and ice cream. We had a good time and was glad they could all make it. After they all left we went to the Anderson Casino they just built this year. It was really cool in there! It was our friends Michael and Danes idea to go so we went with them. We didn't win $1100 this time but John won not me though. I don't have the gambling luck I guess. Then Saturday we went to Bygones with our friends Bryan and Maria. Sunday I finally got to spend time with my bestfriend after like 2 and a half weeks (which is like a year for us)! She went to Florida right after we got back from our honeymoon and then Chicago. Anyways we went to my Dad's a swam for awhile. Then we all went to Wal-Mart got our grill and food to grill out. John and Jason put the grill together and Brooke and I got all the food ready. We had steaks, hamburgers, hotdogs, baked potatoes and corn all on the grill. It was amazing!!! We had a really good time with everyone this weekend!

Extra Bedroom, Upstairs Bathroom & Patio

Wow its been an exciting week! I just finally got our internet and home phone back up and running. We have been having problems since we got everything installed but hopefully things are going to keep running! We got the extra bedroom done on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday my Mother-in-Law Natalie came over and helped me plant flowers on the side of my patios! It looks great thanks to her help. I know how take care of flowers now :)! The only things we have left to do is get little things unpacked in our bedroom and send out Thank You notes for wedding gifts so they are on the way soon. We have just been sooo busy! Hope you all have enjoyed seeing pictures of our townhouse. The only things left is our room and downstairs bathroom and your just going to have to come see us to see those! John's birthday is today and we had dinner our on our beautiful patio this evening. We hope that everyone is doing well and we will post later on!

We still need to finish our room unpacking a little and the extra bedroom getting it all set up! We are going to do the patio this week. John's Mom and I are going to plant flowers tomorrow around the patio and we are going to get our patio furniture and grill this week! I am soo ready for it all to be done its been exhausting. We have had alot of help from our friends and family though thanks so much to you guys we really appreciate your help! I will post pictures of the patio and upstairs when its all finished. We are going to be busy this week with John's birthday being Thursday he'll be 22. We are having his parents, grandparents and my grandma over for dinner Friday. Then going to the new Casino at Anderson Hoosier park with our friends! Duke and Lola love their new home I think they enjoy having alot more playing room. Lola doesn't like walking up the stairs all that much and its pretty funny! But they seem happy here! Hope you enjoy all the pictures and I will post the rest later this week!
